pears q two column history OF the
Yankton insane asylum e%mbroglio, given
snccinctly, terse and 10 the point. The
showing exonerates Captain Colby and
does full justice to Messrs. Powers
Williams and Van Tasssl, holdover
trustees, who declined to enter into an
agreement with the new members to re-
move the asylum officials to make room
for partisans. Although MIR. Van Tassel
is a democrat, he declines to unite with
them and refuses to resign. The Argus
regrets that the administra-
ton should get into this
trouble. One charge made by Mr.. Bowen
is that the public examiner has drawn
money upon warrants drawn by the ter
~ritorial auditor, and charged to the asy.
lum Incidental fund. The act creating
the Office of examiners, provides that any
money received or accepted either di-
reotly or Indirectly, by said officials
other than salary and ineideasaIs as pro-
vided in section 8, of said act-page 80
of session laws of 'S7-shall constitute q
felony and punishment by fine of $I0,-
GOO or imprisonment not exceeding ten
years, or both. The closing sentence in
section seven, can hardly be construed
to prevent the enforcement in this in
stance, OF section nins.

Bismarck Tribune:. In the matter OF
turning oyer the funds to the board of
trustees of the Yankton asylum several
papers in the territory have held that
the governor should either prosecute the
members OF the board or turn over the
funds. Under the law prosecution
should be began by the district attorney
of Yankton county, who is q Law partner
of Hon. =. g. Smith who it appears is
the attorney for the board. The grand
jury will probably not be in session un-
til September. at which time the finding
of the public examiner will be duly pre-
scented to the district attorney, and if
he fail to make the effort to secure the
indictment it 10 not the fault OF the gov
ernor nor can he be held responsible for
the neglect on.tne part Of that official.

that wilderness covers the major part of
eight counties and is known to exist to
every school boy and girl, it is known
only as a wilderness-a place for chop
ping wood, for supplying a vast amount
of the water that flows down the Hudson
and St Lawrence valleys and for hunting
and fishing. Its true discovery will
come when the people as a mass under
staLd what attractions it offers to sum-
mer idlers. made an eight-days' jour
ney through the heart of the woods last
year and saw all but less than half a
dozen Of the principal lakes, mountains
and resorts, and never in all the journeys
| have taken was [ more thoroughly and
constantly surprised than | was by the
difference between the actual country
and the wilderness | had supposed
it was. 1t would be impossible to
liken what l saw to any one sec
ton of country or resort; for l
found the wilderness a veritable medley
of varying attractions In the main, as
has been truly said, you see reduced
copy of Switzerland as it must have been
before it was so populated and denuded
of trees as at present. But in this Switz-
erland you will find a great many repro
auctions of places that don't belong in
Switzerland at all. If you go to keene
Valley you will come across beautiful
pastoral region, coursed by crystal
river, smiling in fields and dotted with
homes and boarding houses, and yet
hemmed in by multitude of towering
mountains covered with forests upon
which destructive man has left no mark
at all. At Elizabethtown, Bloomingdale
and one or two other points you will find
bustling and picturesque little country
towns, full of every sort of place that
takes boarders, from the hotel down to
the cabin, and altogether precisely like
any number of villages in the Catskills
or the Blue Ridge Mountains.
At Lake Placid, one of the prettiest
places in the woods, there is as great a
transformation and as unlocked for a
feature as could be conceived by one not
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1887-07-30

with tennis rackcts in their hands, as
well as boating parties in club and sailor
costumes, just as you would at Sharon
Springs or MnnetOnka. This is the
only place | ran across where there are
many hotels, but hotels Of the first order,
like the best one at Lake Placid, stand
alone and pop out of the primitive
wilderness every here and there as you
zigzag your way through the woods.
You will find that you can live as we'll
at Paul Smiths, on the lower St. Regis
lake. in the thick of the forest, as at any
hotel in New York, and if you leave there
and penetrate the primeval woods for half
a day without seeing man or tame crea-
ture Of any sort. but hemmed in by ver-
dant forest and unsullied water, YOU will
come to a tirst-class latter-day hostelry,
Illuminated by electric lights, standing
like solitary scout of civilization by the
pellucid waters of Blue Mountain lake.
Just so, if you had turned east from Paul
Smiths you would have found very
much such hotel at Loon lake and
again if you had turned south from Paul
Smiths, and made voyage, almost celes-
tial in its beauty, through the upper st.
Regis, Spitfre pond and Clear pond to
the Saran"c Inn, you would have seen still
another hotel Of the grade of those at
Lake George and thousand other old
time resorts. This Saranac Inn by the way
is the spot chosen by President Cleveland
and his bride last year for their vacation,
probably not because it was prettier or
better than dozen other places, for it
isn't, but because of its smallness, remote
ness from the outside world and general
comfort.
At all these hotels you will be sur
rounded by ladies who can, upon occa-
sion, exhibit Worth dresses and diamond
pendants, with fat bankers in broad
cloth, with more or less ambitious
cooking, good wines, dancing parties,
billiards, and all that sort of thing, but
the great popularity, and to most folks
the grand charm, lies in the fact that
though you may have all these comforts
and luxuries you are still in the midst of
nature, not only unadorned, but as wild
as it is possible to find it anywhere in
America south of the Hudson Bay

Close at hand are the house and farm and
grave of John Brown, the martyred
abolitionist The property is preserved
as public shrine and thousands every
year go far to visit it. Here John Brown
lived, and not only dreamed of freeing
captive race, but protected and provided
for many fugitive slaves brought north by
the underground railroad. Here, finally,

Then there are the camps" which upon
a time were mainly mere shelters OF
matched boughs and leaves, but some
times rose to the dignity of log-cabins.
There still are such camps" and you
may build yourself one almost anywhere
you please if you want to rough it this
summer; but the word "camp" has now
come to mean every form Of habitation
from an overturned boat to beautiful
dwelling. Beside the lakes and ponds
rich men, millionaires, and invalids of
varying means have erected every sort OF.
permanent summer homes, some OF which
are houses of very great beauty, and of a
cost ranging from $4,000 to $4,000.
The best display of this kind is at
Raquette lake, but very pretty camps
are to be seen on the lower St. Regis and
the Saranac lakes.

The Turkey Was Trailed.

Miss Lydia Broward, who lives near st
Johns, Fla, recently adopted novel
scheme for finding an old and shrewd hen
turkey that had stolen her nest. When the
turkey came to the house she caught it and
tied a piece of strong bacon upon one foot:
She then watched it carefully until it started
for its nest. Then good dog was placed on
the trail, and, guided by the scent, soon
found the cautious old turkey three-quarters
of mile from the house and i'll the midst OF
